Sanatruces of Parthia

Sanatruces of Parthia (157 BC-70 BC) was King of Parthia from 93 BC to 87 BC (succeeding Mithridates II and preceding Gotarzes I) and from 77 BC to 70 BC (succeeding Orodes I and preceding Phraates III).

Biography
Sanatruces was a member of the Arsacid house, and, in 93 BC, he proclaimed himself King of Parthia in Susiana and attempted to usurp the throne of Mithridates II of Parthia. Ultimately, Gotarzes I forced him to flee to the Central Asian steppe in 87 BC, but he returned ten years later with the help of the Scythians, and he reigned until his death in 70 BC.
